Erika Jayne Says She Filed for Legal Separation as Tom Girardi’s Conservatorship Stalls Divorce

Her update follows Girardi’s 87-month federal sentence for embezzling client settlement funds.

Overview

  • Jayne told Watch What Happens Live that she has filed for separation and that divorcing someone deemed incompetent requires going through Girardi’s court-appointed conservator.
  • She said she has thought about seeing Girardi but has no plans to do so.
  • Girardi, convicted of wire fraud, is serving an 87-month prison term and was ordered to pay a $35,000 fine and $2,310,247 in restitution.
  • A U.S. attorney described Girardi as having conned vulnerable clients out of millions of dollars intended for their settlements.
  • Jayne was found in 2022 by a judge to have no evidence of involvement in wrongdoing, and she originally filed for divorce in November 2020 after Girardi’s dementia diagnosis led to a conservatorship.
